The premise

Here’s the bit.

Chad joins six housemates in a spoof of The Real World and tries to make himself at home. His roommates turn ordinary disagreements and their shared juice-bar job into opportunities to intimidate him. A visit from his girlfriend deepens his isolation, and a party leaves him injured and robbed. Even his father’s arrival ends badly. When the household finally holds a meeting, Chad faces blame for the trouble surrounding him and leaves behind one last surprise.
